I don't understand why everyone is ridiculously tough on interviews but wimps with firing.

Just do a 1 year probation, and payout a couple of months severance with an NDA/non-disparagement clause. If the guy sucks, send him off.

When I read these threads I'm always blown away by the time wasted on the hunger games hiring process. One guy on another thread was talking about 5 interviews with homework. What a waste of time.

It costs a company a lot more to hire someone and then fire them, than it does to never hire them at all. Especially if you give them a few months' severance. That's the most generous probation program I've ever heard of.

Only if you demonstrate that this torturous process produces better candidates.

How many FTEs worth of time is spent on interview hunger games?
